Entry $8.24 this stock has shown some explosive potential but hasn't really took off after last weeks earnings breakout.

PBTI-- Again into the close play for the gap:
Entry: 9.53
Exit: 9.95

HDP: Some great power coming from earnings. Looking to burst to weekly high
Entry: $24.97

TANH:
Another IPO trade. looking for a burst. Not thrilled about that it was unable to hold its week one.

Entry 14.66
Entry 2: 13.64

TROV: Closed
This is the breakout that started the run. I should have sold a portion into the second week burst. Anyway I got stopped out here for a decent profit.
Entry: $ 9.42
Exit: 10.35 9.87% gain.

AMCN: Short
So I decide to get cute and Short AMCN as it looked like it was breaking down.
Didn't work at all as I short near the bottom and then it rallies and takes me out. Fortunately, I didn't put much size on but this is not my trade. This is not my setup.

Entry: 5.82
Exit: 9.34

IPHI: Closed calls,
Entry 1,
Exit 1.75 The problem was I should have gotten out over 2.20 but there was no liquidity and widespread. The down fall of options. Yes, I am complaining about making 75% in a week and a half.

NDRM:
Again I pay for trying to squeeze more out of a trade than was there. This should have been a decently profitable trade but I wanted more and I take a .96 loss. That was .20 of slippage.

Entry: 13 (short)
Stopped 13.96

Life:
A very thin wide spread bio tech -- turns out it was pretty profitable
Entry: 22.95
Exit 1: 25.34 -- Smart selling off half on the thrust.
Exit 2 23.92
(I'm pissed that I missed the super spike. I had an order trying to get out after it hit 27.80 but the bids fell away pretty quickly) Should have been the sign to take what I could get. Closed at the end of the day for about $1.00 on the second half.

PBMD: So many traders had their hard luck story with this one. I did too. I took it over night with the thought it would bounce pre-market like PBTI had done on the 6 times I successfully took that trade.

This one when the opposite. Rather than being sold out. I was down 30%. That's why I don't take big positions on these types of trades but still the day 1 trade is always a widow maker. Even still, this was under my 2% threshold for losses. That said, I won't be doing that again.

VLTC: went green to red after it bounced off the 10 week MA. With the speed it was appreciated I assumed there was some news. There was a rumor that Ichan increased his position. I didn't buy the rumor (actually i did) because no news outlets were reporting. Although this spiked from my buy point, i decided to close it out for a small gain. (A good decision it turns out)

Entry: 8.34
Exit: 8.45

Closed TNP, small gain. This felt lethargic:
I would rather preserve my capital and miss out than to try to squeeze too much out and take a loss. See NDRM
